Vladimir Putin is becoming a father again at the age of 69?
The 69-year-old president of Russia is reportedly becoming a father with his rumored partner Alina Kabaeva.
Now the couple are expecting a daughter, according to the Telegram channel General SVR – an online account said to be updated by Kremlin sources.
The same reports claim that when told of the news, Putin lamented: “I have enough children as it is, and I had enough daughters a long time ago.”
Putin’s private life is very private and it is not known exactly how many children he has.
His best-known daughters are academician and businesswoman Maria Vorotsova, 37, and scientist and former ballerina Katerina Tikhonova, 35, whom he had with ex-wife Lyudmila.
In March 2015, it was claimed that Kabaeva gave birth to a son at a VIP clinic in Switzerland, and in 2019, she reportedly gave birth to twins in Moscow.
But a Swiss-Russian gynecologist told the Swiss press in 2022 that both births were of boys, which would mean Putin has two sons, aged seven and three, by his now-pregnant mistress.
However, nothing has been confirmed by the Russian president himself.
